Pats vs Raiders

[zipo]

>>im on raiders moneyline and over 49 (parlay)<<

Very nice if it hits. My gut told me it would be the Raiders tonite in a shootout, but my brain said to take the points and fade the public.

Anyway, gl.

Anyway, biggest disappointment Raiderwise so far imo has been LaMont Jordan. I wasn't expecting much from the defense, but if they a) don't get some production out of Jordan, and b) get the O-line to give Collins a little more time, then we have problems.

Good game so far.

This is getting ugly. I should have believed in the Pats.

Ouch. My yang feels like Mike Matusow's after 6 months in Clark County lockup.

Anyway, looks like same old same old for the Faiders. Anyway, they're out of my system for the rest of the season, wagerwise [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

My dad used to train thoroughbreds. He was trying to explain "class" to me.

"Two horses coming down the stretch, side by side. The horse with class will look that other horse in the eye, and that other horse will know at that moment that he can't win."

I still didn't get it.

Then I watched this game tonight.

The Raiders played a near-perfect half of football. They shredded the champs on the opening drive. Collins looked like Montana, putting up a QB rating of about 140. No turnovers, few penalties. They could not have played better. Except for a missed FG, they were flawless.

And they went into the lockerroom, losing by a FG.

Like the outclassed horse, they KNEW that was their best. And they knew they could not compete. They knew they were owned by New England, it was just a matter of time.

At that point, they turned into a different team. The pocket was collapsing quicker. The run defense, absolutely dominant in the first half, weakened. The penalties, which they had done so good a job of avoiding in the first half, piled up.

And worst of all, Kerry Collins started making all of his throws off his back foot. He didn't do that in the first half, when he was dialing a 140. But Rodney Harrison looked him in the eye, and Kerry knew that it was all over.

Dad, if you're up there, watching me type this: I get it now.

(I've been defending Collins for years, saying things like "most of his INT's and fumbles were just unlucky bounces." I'm withdrawing my support. He's a crumb.)

Public dogs - public road dogs - are always a good fade.
